MYSQL_FIX_EXTENSI(1)                        MySQL Database System                       MYSQL_FIX_EXTENSI(1)



NAME
       mysql_fix_extensions - normalize table file name extensions

SYNOPSIS
       mysql_fix_extensions data_dir

DESCRIPTION
       mysql_fix_extensions converts the extensions for MyISAM (or ISAM) table files to their canonical
       forms. It looks for files with extensions matching any lettercase variant of .frm, .myd, .myi, .isd,
       and .ism and renames them to have extensions of .frm, .MYD, .MYI, .ISD, and .ISM, respectively. This
       can be useful after transferring the files from a system with case-insensitive file names (such as
       Windows) to a system with case-sensitive file names.

       Invoke mysql_fix_extensions like this, where data_dir is the path name to the MySQL data directory.

          shell> mysql_fix_extensions data_dir
